Secret maze built under city
A secret underground maze built in the event of a nuclear war has
been hidden under a city for more than 40 years.
The vast complex of tunnels and rooms in Birmingham was designed in
1952 to house 20 people who have formed a regional government.
The shelter would have provided food, light and heat for three
months and one room even had a snooker table.
uk.ufo.nw says: During the week of this report several television
news reports were shown. If anyone has any further information on the
maze under Birmingham please get in touch at our usual address:

A natural-born beauty as Dolly has a little lamb
By Michael Seamark
Dolly the world's first cloned sheep proudly presented her new baby
to the world yesterday - a beautiful spring lamb called Bonnie.
But, unlike her famous mother, the creation of the cuddly little
newcomer - born 11 days ago - was entirely natural.
The father was a four year old Welsh mountain ram named David.
Graham Bulfield, director of the Roslin Institute in Edinburgh,
which cloned Dolly from a single breast cell of another sheep, said:
"Despite Dolly's unusual origins, the birth of her lamb confirms
that she is able to breed normally and produce healthy offspring."
Dolly sparked an ethical and scientific furore when her existence
was revealed last February. Some scientists questioned whether she is
a true clone because her 'genetic' mother died before she was born
and it has been impossible to prove the two animals were identical.
Bonny faces no such controversy. Dolly is a Finn Dorset and father
David a completely different breed. After mating last November,
Dolly was regularly monitored and in the days leading up to the birth
was placed under 24 hour surveillance.
Bonnie was born at 4am on Easter Monday, weighing just under 7lb.
Despite Dolly's clinical background, the institute said: "She has
shown a strong maternal instinct and is an enthusiastic mother."
Bonnie's healthy birth is expected to counter fears that Dolly may
be prone to premature ageing and age related disorders as a result of
being cloned from a six year old adult. The lambs arrival also
provides an important boost to the commercialisation of the
technique that produced Dolly.
Dolly and Bonnie are currently spending much of their time indoors.
For Bonnie, life will be longer than most of her kind - who end up
on the dinner table.
"As a celebrity sheep, we will be keeping her here for her natural
life," said the institute.

space station.
Nasa has asked the store for samples of it's best selling lines with
a view to putting them on the menu in space.
It is looking for nutritious food for the American/Russian space

Northern Ireland under attack - by ET!
This has been reported in the local press recently, unfortunately
all the papers have been thrown out so I'm going by memory!
Northern Ireland under attack - by ET!
On 13th December 1997 an explosion was heard near the town of
Belleek in county Fermanagh Northern Ireland. The reports of the
blast lead to the security forces doing a search for a suspected bomb
and even closing off some roads but nothing was found.
It wasn't until the next month that a farmer noticed a extra 6 foot
wide circular pond in one of his fields. Calls were made to Armagh
Planetarium and they turned up to investigate the site. The crater
was drained but nothing was found except a badly damaged milk churn.
Later investigations managed to find a 1.5 mm bead of glass, it is
unknown if this was the source of the crater but it's all they've
found so far. The site is very muddy and it is suspected that the
real culprit may have sank down out of reach. It either was small
and hit very fast or was large and hit relatively slowly.
Planetarium officials noted that the object which landed had hit the
ground had done so at almost 90 degrees and also pointed out that
another rather larger object hit Greenland on the same night. This
object was so big in fact that a scar was visible in satellite
photos. Had the Greenland object hit in Northern Ireland it would
have leveled the nearby town of Belleek.

Sighting near Ashington, Northumberland
I would like to report on a sighting my brother and his partner had
in November 1996 which was the last of a number of objects they saw
in the sky during the months of October and November in that year.
My brother and his girlfriend live on the NE coast of England near
Ashington in Northumberland and it was about 5.25pm on the 4, 5 or 6
of November when after hearing the noise of a jet he looked out of
his sons bedroom window towards the NW when he saw a group of lights
moving South. Then suddenly from behind came a smaller group of
lights which flew past the first group turning sharply Eastwards
towards his home. Then from over the wood in front of my brothers
house came what he described as being a disco of different
rectangular shaped coloured lights of which were green, blue, purple,
yellow, red and white. He noticed that the lights seemed to be
stacked on top of each other in layers and that there were more red
lights than the other colours.
He called on his partner and they both watched as the object passed
slowly and silently over their home which they then lost sight of.
They went outside to look but all they could see was a small cluster
of lights in the distance which then disappeared.
If you have any reports of this sighting or would like more
infomation on this or the other sightings they saw over these two
months email me on the address below and I can put you in contact
with them.
uk.ufo.nw says: After requesting further information Damian was good
enough to send us the below report.
With regards to my brothers sightings, these earlier ones occurred
over a period of a month up to the night of the one I wrote about
earlier.
There was one evening when it was dark while he cycled home from a
friends House. He saw an object hovering which he first thought was
a helicopter but had no sound. He noticed that the object had a red,
yellow and blue glow to it. He kept on walking and then lost sight
of the object through the gaps of the houses which overlook the
woods.
When the object was seen again about 12 seconds later it had
travelled fast as it seemed much closer than before. He noticed it
had two bright white bar lights and a flashing red light on top.
There was no noise which you would expect if it were a helicopter. He
lost sight of it again because of the houses so he peddled a further
100yrds to the end of the street and saw the object again but it was
slightly higher in altitude and a little more distant than before.
It then changed direction by moving sharply upwards at an angle he
described as being about 80 degrees. When he got home he got out his
binoculars and observed the object with his partner who he called
from the bathroom to view the object too. The object by then looked
different as there were seven lights, one being a white bar light
which did not flash, the other a red flashing light as seen before
and the others being orange in colour, which flashed in sequence.
He went to the park to observe the object out of the glare of the
street lights and noticed that it would travel at high altitude from
West to East before moving out of sight but sometimes crossing the
same point of the sky. All through October he witnessed lights in
the sky which were red, green and white (I am not sure at this time
whether these lights were seen individually or on separate occasions
or together) which moved about with flight paths that crossed the
same parts of the sky regularly.
One night in late October he heard the noise of a jet and when he
looked out of the window he saw an object he described as being a
jumbo jet without wings as it had bar lighting running along 2/3rds
the body of the tube with a red flashing light at the rear. This
object passed very low over the house. This was a different object
to the one which I wrote to you a while back.
Although I have copied from notes he has given me and put down in
words that he has told me, there is a lot of patchy detail. I hope I
have been helpful in giving you more information which may shred
more light on identifying what was in the sky at that time.

The Search Goes On
Jodrell Bank, the world famous radio telescope in Cheshire is to be
used to search for messages from other planets.
Operated by the University of Manchester, the 250 foot Lovell
Telescope will link up with the 1,000 foot telescope at Arecibo in
Puerto Rico.+ Speaking on BBC Radio, Ian Morrison said, "It will be
the most sensitive search undertaken by man to see if there is
anybody out there trying to talk to us."
In 1993 NASA stopped funding their own programme in the search for
extraterrestrial intelligence, but did build a receiver capable of
picking up 250 million signals simultaneously. "You don't know what
frequency anyone might be transmitting to us so you have to search
quite a broad band.", said Ian Morrison, "Now linking that receiver
with the two most sensitive telescopes in the world makes a system
that's really quite something and if anybody is going to pick up
signals from out there I reckon we are going to do it."
Having the two telescopes situated over 1,000 miles apart will mean
that interference from local transmissions can be ruled out. The two
sites will be linked via the Internet and as soon as one finds a
signal it will alert the other. The frequency of the transmission
will also be slightly different at the two sites and so noises from
satellites above Earth and further out in the Solar System can be
eliminated.
Ian Morrison said, "I'm sure there is a lot of life out there. On
our planet, life arose almost within years of the conditions becoming
right - however it took a lot longer for more complicated life to
evolve, about 3 billion years. We are beginning to discover other
planets around other stars.... I'm sure that the Universe and the
galaxy is teeming with life - now whether that life has got to the
point where it could communicate or whether it would want to we
don't know".
Leading project scientist Seth Shostak said, "It is my personal view
we will find clear evidence of extra terrestrial life in the next
10-15 years".

Congressman Schiff Dies at 51
Steve Schiff, whose battle with skin cancer forced him to decide not
to run for re-election this year, died today at age 51.
The five-term New Mexico Republican, who had been fighting
aggressive squamous-cell skin cancer for more than a year, died this
morning at his Albuquerque home.
Schiff had been absent from Washington, D.C., since last April but
had been continuing to conduct 1st Congressional District from home.
During his years in Congress, Schiff was credited with a compromise
plan that allowed Speaker Newt Gingrich to resolve ethics
allegations by paying a $300,000 penalty to reimburse the government
for investigative costs.
Once, when Schiff opposed a congressional pay raise, he donated the
amount of the raise that year to charity.
He also gained headlines in 1993, reopening a federal investigation
into the so-called Roswell Incident in which extraterrestrial beings
were purported to have crashed northwest of Roswell in 1947. Schiff
asked the General Accounting Office, Congress' investigative arm, to
seek Air Force documents relating to the incident. The Air Force
said a secret high-tech spy balloon crashed, not an alien spacecraft.

Entity ?? contact, Australia.
My name is Barry Davidson, I am a retired Police Officer
and currently a businessman in the manufacturing field.
On the evening of 18th and 19th of April, 1996, my family
and I, four people in total, were involved for a period of
several hours of contact with, for want of a better
description, an electrical entity. The 'entity' was not visible
but was real enough to cause physical injury through
electrical discharge when accidentally contacted physically. It
moved for a distance of approx. 120 feet throughout the house
over a period of approx. 4.5 hours and seemed to conduct it's
movements intelligently, always being in an area where we
would easily locate it.
A list of the injuries suffered by the participants to the
event include the following. Low grade radiation sickness,
extreme nausea, severe headaches lasting for from two weeks
to three months, skin marking, [not scars.] Three of the
participants have developed, at the same time, acute
subjective tinnitus. All suffered aches and soreness to muscles
and joints.
Evidence left behind includes a sheltered rock in the garden
edging blasted to pieces, [shrubbery undamaged], blast or
abrasion marks on the adjacent pathway, a candle partly
melted and separated of it's chemical componentry, [the stearin
reverting to crystalline form] and the wick exposed but not
charred. There was a shadow imprint of the pergola roof on the
mossy pathway below. An anomalous telemetry printout was
received from the nearby reservoir monitoring station which
cannot be explained. Unusual plant growth in the immediate
area, etc. etc.
At approx 12.20 am on the morning of 19th, April, a local
couple, both respected business people, witnessed a large
orange dome or globe directly above our house. This dome
seemed to be emitting blue/orange light rays downwards towards
the house. This time coincides with the anomalous printout
from the telemetry and also one of the more spectacular events
within the house.
My reason for writing to you is as follows: I have
investigated the incident as I would have a crime. I have
preserved the evidence trail and secured the evidence and
statements taken. I am afraid that I have used up all of
the resources available to me in Australia in my attempts to
investigate the incident, both at an official and unofficial
level, and I wonder if you or anyone you could direct me
to would be able to assist with further directions to follow
in my investigative path.
I realise that this incident probably does not fall within
the traditional 'light in the sky' type scenario and therefore
may fall into the 'too hard basket' for some traditional
researchers. Never the less I would be immensely appreciative
of any advice you may be able to give me or for any new
investigative paths you may be able to open for me.
Many, many thanks,
Barry Davidson

Bizarre UFO tale no worse than other Clinton stories
By Steve Wilson
Speaking with people around the country last week about UFOs and the
first anniversary of the "Phoenix Lights," I was told a remarkable
story that didn't make my column.
I omitted it because the account came from only one source, because
it had no corroboration, and because it seemed preposterous. It
simply didn't have enough credibility to be published.
But thinking it over, and reflecting on coverage of the Clinton sex
scandal, I've reconsidered. The standards for what constitutes a
news story have fallen so significantly in recent weeks that the UFO
account can now qualify as newsworthy. Since the story involves the
president, I'm even more sure it merits public disclosure.
Plus, if I don't get it in print now, Internet ace Matt Drudge might
scoop me.
Here's the skinny:
The strange lights over Phoenix were only one unusual happening on
the night of March 13, 1997. A U.S. reconnaissance satellite, which
presumably could have picked up the source of the lights, went dead
for no apparent reason. About the same time, the Pentagon increased
the country's military preparedness to DEFCON 3 (the highest state
of readiness for peacetime conditions).
You may recall that on the same evening, President Clinton was
staying at the Florida estate of golfer Greg Norman. The White House
said that after talking with Norman late into the night, Clinton
tripped on a step and seriously injured his knee.
What really occurred, my source reports, is that the commander in
chief was notified of the UFO activity and had to be moved quickly
to a more secure location where he could oversee U.S. defense
activities. In the rush by the Secret Service to hustle him away, he
tripped and damaged the knee.
My source, who asked to remain anonymous, is a nationally known UFO
expert. His account isn't much less reliable than multiple stories
reported in recent weeks about Clinton's personal life. I'm not
talking about the likes of Hard Copy or the tabloids or Drudge, the
rumormonger correctly described by one critic as "the troll under
the bridge of Internet journalism." I'm talking about respected
mainstream media.

New Zealand's First Crop Circle - courtesy NBC-TV
At the beginning of March 1998 three 'circlemakers' (John Lundberg,
Rod Dickinson and Wil Russell) were flown out to the Southern most
tip of New Zealand to be filmed creating a crop circle for NBC-TV.
The footage will be used in the documentary - provisionally entitled
- "Unmasked: The Secret's of Deception" that is due to be aired on
prime-time TV across America during May, then around the world in
the following weeks. It has an estimated US audience alone of 25
million.
We were asked to design a complex crop formation that could be made
at night in under four hours. The formation we designed had over 100
flattened circles and a diameter of 300ft, putting it on a par with
some of the most complex formations to appear in the fields of
England over the past few years.

the commercial in which a silver Beetle bounces and flips around the

Amazed scientists discover space is full of vast oceans of water
European scientists using an ultracold orbiting telescope have
discovered unimaginable volumes of water in space between the stars.
the discovery raises questions about life elsewhere in the universe
- and provides new answers about why life was possible on Earth.
The scientists were astounded to find water vapour in the freezing
atmospheres of Jupiter, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus. They also
revealed yesterday that they have discovered water in the atmosphere
in of Saturn's mysterious moon - Titan - which is to be visited by a
joint US/Euro probe in 2004. They have even identified a cloud of
water, less than a light year across, in the constellation Orion.
Hydrogen is the raw material of the universe. Oxygen is made in
huge quantities by the stars. So water should be no suprise. There
have been fleeting glimpses of water on the Sun's surface, and in
March, American's confirmed the presence of water on the moon. But
the discovery of vast oceans of water vapour - the mass of which in
the Milky Way galaxy alone would equal tens of thousands of suns - by
the European Space Agencies infrared space observatory ISO astonished
astronomers.
"I think our imaginations failed to describe the variety of places,
the variety of circumstances, and the variety of conditions under
which we found it ," said Paul Murdin of the British National Space
Centre, yesterday.
Using instruments called spectroscopes, scientists have identified
and astonishing range of organic molecules, in space, including
hydrogen cyanide, alcohol and formaldehyde. But water is the first
requirement for life. The 600 million ISO equipment confirms once
again that there could be life on planets in other solar systems.
The next step will be to look for tell-tale signs of life itself:
concentrations of oxygen or ozone in distant planetary atmospheres.
The ISO discovery also confirms a growing belief that water on Earth
may have been delivered by comets, icy scraps of dust left over from
the birth of stars.
The experiment opens up a new window on the universe. More than
1,000 astronomers from Europe, Japan and the US have used the
telescope, launched in 1995, for more than 26, 000 observations.
The data returned will keep astronomers busy for years.
"All the missions we undertake in ESA have to be unique," said Roger
Bonnet, head of science at the space agency. "In principle, the
American's have done everything, so what remains to be done is
impossible. All our missions are mission impossible, but ISO is
more possible then any other."
ISO should have survived for only 18 months but is still operating
after 29. The telescope posed a huge technical challenge: to detect
infra-red rays, it had to be cooler than any object it looked at -
and the average temperature of deep space is -270oC. So ISO had to
be cooled with liquid helium which kept the instruments temperature
just above absolute zero (-273oC.)
The satellite has peered into clouds of space dust to watch the
formation of solar systems, and deep into the heart of ultra-luminous
galaxies. It has also witnessed two galaxies colliding and, in one
of them, the signature of a b;lack hole sucking a blaze of stardust
into itself. Beside mapping the edge of the known universe, it has
also seen a star being born inside the Horsehead nebula.

The Lolladoff disc
Dear colleagues and friends,
Has anyone ever heard about a small disc-shaped object alegedly
discovered in by a Prof. Sergey Lolladoff (Oxford University) which
changes its own weight ? According to old rumours, the object, refered
as "the Lolladoff disc" has engraved drawings on it and belonged to
the "Dzopa" a lost tibetan tribe which is said to be originated from
"star people".
I have a book in spanish which describes the object and mentions a
british "Journal of Ethnology" (Oxford ?) as a solid academic
reference for the discovery.
I have contacted Oxford University but they never replied about Prof.
Lolladoff or the disc (which is said to be kept in a bank safe).
I would appreciate to hear your oppinion about this subject.

Sighting over Leyton in London
Could you please tell me if anyone else reported seeing a UFO in the
sky over Leyton in London on Monday eve March 30 1998. My sister in
law saw a round disc shape with lines all the way around and strange
greenish/blue lights - no red lights. It slowly hovered across the
sky above her house. She was instantly extremely frightened by the
experience which confirms for her that it was a foreign object - not
at all recognizable. She explained that it appeared to be quite
large in size.Just wondering if anybody else has reported this to

sightings to or are you the most appropriate for this in the UK?

are currently joined to the channel. The large upper left window is
where you view the conversations. The small lower window is where you
type anything you want to say, remembering to press 'Return' on your
keyboard at the end.
The main windows within MIRC can be fully resized like most windows
programs.
Don't be shy. We are all a friendly bunch. Give it a go. You'll soon
get the hang of it. We'll be happy to offer any assistance that you
may need.
